Due December 2015

Hi Dalene

My LG just turned 4 last week Friday, so almost the same age gap as you, "baby noon" the name my daughter has kept for the baby, they will be 4 years 5 months apart. My daughter was born at 3.8kg two days before her due date. Gynae already told me if your body can carry a larger baby the first time, more than likely the second or further pregnancies you will have larger or same size babies also, so I you right the seconds babies are just following their big sisters.

I am feeling okay, not serious complaints, just the symptoms I had in my first pregnancy have come sooner this time around than the first. Like my porridge brain, the leg cramps (I am eating more banana's for the magnesium), I just think I am carrying this baby more in my back than the front, that's why more leg cramps, I have already had heartburn and relux which with the first pregnancy came in in the last trimester.

But I guess our bodies more accepting of the symptoms the second time around cause it knows we can cope with it. I do some walking and low impact yoga when I can but lately running around and playing with my LG is more than enough exercise

How is your daughter reacting to the pregnancy or the thought of being a big sister?

Hello Zaza

Yes, she was 3.34 at birth...guess this one will follow...

No leg cramps for me yet, thankfully. Apparently a magnesium supplement helps for those...

My tummy is also so big...looks like I am about to have her already...

How are you feeling? What is the age difference between your 2?

My first LG is 4 now...so they will be about 4 years and 7 months apart... Hopefully she will be a big help to mommy...

Awwwwww congrats Dalene, another team pink, hehehe.

Was your first baby a bigger baby in kg's? I have the same with this baby, measuring 3 weeks ahead in size so I know I'm popping out another big baby.

You are so correct about the sleep, I have 2 pillows and my preggy roll at diff positions at night but my belly feels so heavy already to move and find a comfortable position is hard. Often I go sleep in the spare room a big bed all to myself seems to help. more room to stretch lol. Are you having any leg cramps yet?

Oh my porridge brain made me forget, to tell you ladies, I chatted to Zee on whats app, she is doing much better. taking care of her health and she has he awesome hubby supporting her all the way.

Been sharing info about the condition they suspected caused the miscarriage but it is something that can be fixed, she is trying all the natural methods but will be seeking second opinion from another gynae to way her future options.

But she is a strong willed woman!!!!!

Good afternoon ladies

How are you all doing and feeling? Especially feeling?

We are officially team pink.. again lol... Baby is doing very well and measures 23 weeks, whereby I am now only officially 21+4. She is quite heavy and weighs 535g already

I am good, just struggling to sleep at night.... I guess it only gets worse from here if I remember correctly

How is everyone else doing?

So ladies I'm at 22 weeks, belly feeling heavier, and baby moving a lot at night, my hunger is more frequent, eating more snacks, still doing good on the scale are any of you feeling like this?

@Happi, my next scan is second week of August, at 24 weeks, I am very interested to see how heavy baby noon is, cause with my first born, I didn't feel this heavy as the second one.

Now that you all are reaching the halfway mark or just past it, please share your babies growth, it's amazing to me how fast they grow now.

Anyone started to waddle yet, lol

Good Morning Pregnant Fairies

How are all of you doing?

@Lashy happy birthday for yesterday glad you have had fun and got spoilt, gosh you make me hungry, with your posts, lol. Howz the baby doing? Probably enjoying want mama is feeding it, and your daughter and the house hunting? Wow 17 weeks, don't you feel like a different person now. Hope you scan goes well on Monday, we expecting the pics, bump and baby, ok.

@NewMommy, welcome to the Dec group, yes we are the take it easy cool mama bunch, gosh I read some of the other monthly groups, and they seem like they on adrenalin with the planning and buying, it was a bit overwhelming for me so I decided, even though I am having a Caesar in November I am not leaving the Dec group. Tell us more about yourself and your baby that you expecting, please share some bump and baby pics also.

@Happi, my dear pls post those pics, we miss you, sorry you so busy at work, have you chatted to your boss yet about the maternity leave, I know you mentioned they want to know your back up plan? Good luck with the scan for Saturday, waiting to hear how big the baby is, finally adding on the grammmmsss, and don't worry we also starting to panic cause as much as we have stuff from the first pregnancy, there is still a whole lot to get for the new baby, that's why we starting this weekend so me and hubby can get organised.

@Nisha congrats on the travel clearance, don't stress by other people, you doing the right thing by flying to SA to be with Hubby, you both have to be together for the baby, besides you healthy and you still not in your last trimester so it's safe to fly, just take a few stretch breaks and keep lotsa snacks and liquids, thanks for adding me to whats app also great way to stay in touch when we not online.

I am going to the Mama Magic Expo if that's the one you talking about Nisha, it's at the end of August in DBN. but they do have one in each major city. We saving some money to do some shopping there if the deals are good, but also you must enter the competitions there, you always win something.

@Nix how your gran doing? I been watching take a lot recently like you suggested and you right their prices are competitive and the convenience of delivery, haven't bought anything yet but will start soon.
